09L,
Thanks for the information.
Could you answer a question that's been bothering me for years? Why is it that LHR will not (cannot?) give you a braking action report if requested? I ask because in periods of heavy rain and strong winds some aircraft types are severely penalised on x wind limits when the braking action is poor. This is to cover the RTO case. And some companies insist that if there is no braking action reported then the braking action must be considerd poor for planning purposes. The end result is either waiting, or asking for RW23.........never a popular move!
